Does SkyHopper Pro V coexist with other RF systems on the drone?

SkyHopper PRO V coexists with any device that works on a different band of frequency, such as backup control or telemetry that works on a different frequency. If using the same band, but a different frequency, SkyHopper coexists as well, however performance may be reduced slightly.

What RF frequency and bandwidth does SkyHopper Pro V support?

SkyHopper Pro V works on the 2.4GHz ISM band with a bandwidth of 4.5 and 8.5MHz. It is based on the different configurations.

What frequencies can I use?

You can use any frequency between 2400 MHz to 2485 MHz

How many systems can work in the same vicinity?

The number of systems varies with respect to different areas and scenarios. It is dependent on the distance between the systems, the difference in frequencies (near/far conditions), other systems (i.e. Wi-Fi), etc.

What is the transmission range?

SkyHopper Pro V has a transmission range that exceeds 5km Line-of-Sight. This distance can more than double by leveraging its relay feature as well as with its ability to communicate with multiple control stations.

Can I Increase Range with Specialized Antennas?

Yes. SkyHopper Pro V supports any antenna. Antenna adapter cables (MMCX connector) can be purchased separately. You can use a sectorial antenna for the ground station, which gives you more gain. For the aerial unit we supply 2 dBi Omni antennas. Omni antennas with more gain are usually too long for drones. Omni antennas are recommended for use with drones.
